Danny Dillard now off the team too. Damn....they are really freeing the roster of deadweight in anticipation of sanctions. I know Golden wants to sign a big ass class and still leave room for the sanctions. To do that you got to play well below the 85.

I think right now they are at 76 kids on scholarship. I would be surprised if they were hit with more than 15 ships. I think that would be the limit. I hope for 9-12. At 15 , divided over 3 years that's 5 per year, so you gotta play at 80.

We will lose about 18 to graduation and 2 early to the draft this year, that's 20. Takes you down to 56 or 55 as I expect one more kid to be purged. So you can still sign 25 and play at 80 if some enroll early and count to last years total rather than this years.

I can see why players like Dez Bryant and Terrelle Pryor would be pissed about the treatment of Johnny Manziel by the NCAA compared to them.

Dez Bryant and Terrelle Pryor got the shaft for less serious violations that what Manziel did and Manziel will only have to sit for a half against Rice?

I think the NCAA is hypocritical to begin with and think they need to change the way these violations are dealt with, but they need to treat players equally.

Manziel took cash for signing over 4,000 autographs....probably a buttload of cash. Dez Bryant ate lunch with Deion Sanders and lied about it (and I'm sure Sanders was probably trying to nudge him towards his agent) and Terrelle Pryor traded some autographs/memorabilia for some tats.

It amazes me how many stories there have been about potential NCAA violations in the SEC over the last 5 years and very little has been done. If I'm a president of a university, I deny, lawyer up and fail to cooperate. Can't believe Ohio St. football players received 5 game suspensions for their illegal benefits, which is similar to what Dez and AJ Green received and this douche bag gets one half against Rice. I'm sure his families financial status had nothing to do with it. **** the NCAA.

I think the key is none of the autograph dealers/brokers/whatever wanted to confirm they paid Manziel to the NCAA because this stuff probably happens a lot, and would hinder the profitability in the future.
I mean, seriously, no college athlete is going to spend hours signing stuff and NOT receive money for doing it. However, there was probably really no clear evidence against Manziel other than the buttload of auto's on the market and some claims from dealers/brokers second hand.

Honestly though, I have a feeling A&M and Manziel have a crash this season. Something just feels off this year with him, and he's going to have a down year resulting in A&M going down.

Johnny did it. But, there may be no proof of money transactions.

It's pretty obvious if you have been around a major college football school these players are taken care of by boosters.

Lane Kiffins offensive playcalling is awful so far. 3rd and 6 from the Hawaii 20.....run. Go for it on 4th and 4 rather than chip shot FG. Next possession 3rd and goal from the 4 they take Lee off the field and run it. Lol
